Lightning is one of nature’s greatest shows, but at the same time, it’s also one of the most deadliest and unpredictable weather phenomena.
A driver in Sydney, Australia, witnessed that first hand when his dash-cam recorded a lightning bolt strike down a tree on a busy road.
The passenger, Uma Pekkanen, who uploaded the footage on YouTube, explained:
“My partner Kamaldeep Singh was driving when his dash camera captured a lightning strike a tree in half and the branch smashed the car and its windscreen on Lane Cove Rd, Ryde. He got out of the car with our friend to check if the driver was ok. The driver was in shock but thankfully not injured!”
